JAY-Z AND BEYONCE KNOWLES GO HOUSE HUNTING IN THE UK?

Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles are house hunting in the UK. The married music stars are said to be searching for two properties - a luxury home in London and a sprawling country estate. The Chicago Sun-Times newspaper reports: "Jay-Z and Beyonce are quite taken with jolly old England. Word has it, the couple - aided by Madonna's own real estate agent - have been scouting for both a house in Mayfair, London's priciest neighbourhood, and an estate in the countryside near Oxford." It is believed Jay-Z is keen to have a base in the UK because he is planning to invest in one of the country's top soccer teams after falling in love with the sport. The hip-hop mogul is already a part-owner of basketball team the New Jersey Nets.
